Miscarriage stories of loss, hope and help. It's always devastating to experience a loss. It can cause you to feel alone, isolated. There's no 'right' way to feel - a range of reactions are possible and normal. In addition to the grief you may feel, your body will be undergoing some profound hormonal adjustments, which may make you feel very emotionally volatile. If you have had a miscarriage, take the time to understand better why these occur and why it is not your fault.

Motherhood

I guess I needed a taste of young motherhood again - 7 year old Chris is visiting this weekend, and has been up since 4:30 AM, throwing up. Other than gagging as I cleaned up his bed, it wasn't so bad. I was already up, because I never sleep much anyhow, and all the mothering kicks right back in - just like riding a bike! Some have said I was born to be a mother, calling me an "earth mother". I don't see myself that way, often feeling selfish and unappreciated. But I have always been there, with a helping hand, arms to hug and comfort. It is who I am.My mom said she got worried because at 6 years old, I was already going on and on about being a mother. It was what I wanted to be when I grew up. But they said no, you have to want more. So I said then I would be a kindergarten teacher, or a pediatric nurse. I wanted to work with children.I did end up working with children, in nursery programs, in drop-in centres, in teen mom programs, doing daycare, doing respite child care for PPD moms, working in the hospital nurseries, running mom & baby groups, and a mail order business of baby products. Children have been my whole life.I loved being pregnant, I loved carrying that special secret inside. I loved giving birth, nursing my babies. There were bad days. Days I felt like running away. We all have them. But what wonderful people my boys grew up to be, despite the bad times. I sometimes would walk behind my boys, marveling that they came from me. That these tall creatures were here because of me!But sometimes I wonder what life would be like if all of my children were here? Each baby lost - not lost, growing up, surrounding me, enriching my life? Quiet moments, alone in the dark. Wondering...
